Since its unveil in 2006, I must admit that I turned around this reference.
I was very happy to see Patek releasing an inhouse automatic chronograph, and mesmerized by this sublime ruthenium dial which is, in my opinion, the nicest dial of all the 5960 ever made, even if I quite like the latest white dialed sporty version, but the fact that the bracelet is mandatory is a big no go for me.
I could have pulled the tigger on this 5960P, and to tell the truth, I hesitated a lot, for one reason: I would have preferred it without calendar, even annual.
But, through the years, I got used to it.
The case is not bad, either. The proportions are excellent, the sophisticated shape of the bezel makes echo to the sublime dial which is tough, very tough to take in picture.
Not mine, yet, but maybe one day. To say all, the 5100G is over this one, in my wish list. But this 5960P may complete my small selection of Pateks.
I have a certain fascination for this monocounter, which is shared with the Nautilus. It gives such a special llure to these watches!
Best,
Nicolas
